Exegesis

The first clause, pantes hen ōsin {πάντες ἓν ὦσιν | pántes hèn ôsin} ‘all may be one,’ places the focus on a single shared reality; hen {ἓν | hèn} in the neuter singular presents the disciples as one corporate entity rather than a loose collection of individuals.

The second hina clause, hina kai autoi en hemin ōsin {ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐν ἡμῖν ὦσιν | hína kaì autoì en hēmîn ôsin}, extends that pattern to the disciples, and the intensive autoi {αὐτοὶ | autoí} ‘they themselves’ gives them direct prominence as the ones being gathered into the shared divine life.

In contextJohn 17:21

So that all may be one, just as You, Father , are in Me and I am in You, so that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
